My brother-in-law, a lineman, asked me why we always swing the load so fast.

He said 'You guys treat every lift like it's a race, but what's the rush when you're 200 feet up?' Honestly, made me slow down and think about my whole rhythm. Anyone else ever get called out on a habit they didn't even notice?

Wait, he's a LINEMAN?

Yeah faithb74, that "wait, he's a lineman?" reaction is pretty common. People see a big guy and assume he must play a flashy position. The reality is those are the guys doing the hard, quiet work in the trenches. You don't notice them until they mess up, and then the whole play falls apart. My advice is to watch the line play for a few snaps next game, it tells you a lot about how the team is really doing.
